strategies for rural development. Under
this program, zero interest loans and
grants are provided to electric and
telecommunications utilities that have

fund. RBS also needs to make sure the
funds are used for the intended purpose,
and in the case of the loan, the funds
will be repaid. RBS must determine that
loans made from revolving loan funds
established with grants are used for
eligible purposes.

2016.1 On July 29 2016, in accordance
with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR
351.213(b), the Department received a
timely request from the petitioners, the
Ad Hoc Committee of Domestic

administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on solid urea
from the Russian Federation
manufactured or exported by MCC
EuroChem, or its urea production
subsidiaries OJSC Nevinnomysskiy Azot
and OJSC NAKAzot (MCC EuroChem),
and Joint Stock Company PhosAgroCherepovets.2
On September 12, 2016, the

Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the
Department will rescind an
administrative review, if the party that
requested the review withdraws its
request within 90 days of the date of
publication of notice of initiation of the
requested review. The petitioner
withdrew its review request before the
90-day deadline, and no other party
requested an administrative review of
the antidumping duty order. Therefore,
in response to the timely withdrawal of
the review request, the Department is
rescinding in its entirety the

and the subsequent assessment of
double antidumping duties.

reminder to parties subject to
